Despite thousands of weighty tomes, Nobody actually *knows* about the range of internal rearrangements which are influenced by the mind (for moi - unarguably..) never 'mind' that also lesser, yet considerable-too brain chemistry.

I'd guess that, from your experience in bio- related, you know all this stuff better than most -- but Doctors appear to derive most often from the easy-memorizing class of innate talents, and from fewer of the Right-brain folks who use words like 'healing' and not "8.37 % recovery ratio for 5.0 years". (Those with memorizing aptitude would do equally well in Accounting, but it pays so much less in $$ and in stature.)

(Whether or not there exist also Healers? amidst the flock, is a topic almost as incendiary as Lutheranism VS Cthulhuism - most places.)

Unfortunately for us all, 'anecdotal' doesn't count, as few of us can match a level of samples that beats 'suggestive'-only. I'd believe that you can beat any predisposition (with no more 'assurance' than above, natch) and we all know the Norman Cousins story.. getting a hotel room and two-reelers and Laughing Self right past a diagnosis and prognosis.

Meanwhile, second the suggestion above -- Success minute-to-minute Enjoyment is the best Revenge against the Mystery; what else is worth doing on this day-by-day Pass? More Overtime?? [er, Hah]


Cheers,
